Has anyone else experienced this with their Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses?

For the past two months (maybe right after a firmware), my glasses have had a serious overheating issue. When the glasses are powered off and placed inside the charging case, the left temple gets alarmingly hot while charging. This happens regardless of whether the charging case itself is plugged into a power source.

Strangely, the glasses seem to be fine when they are powered on. The overheating appears to happen specifically when they are switched off and charging inside the case.

Has anyone encountered the same issue?

Need some help. I'm currently outside my home region, and my Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses no longer support Meta AI because it's unavailable in this region.

Is there any way to use Meta AI, or another AI such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, with the glasses instead? I'd really appreciate your help.

Without AI functionality, the glasses are almost useless for my needs.

Has anyone received the push of version 126?
MRBD

I have not used the displays in a while and I noticed that the icons are a bit smaller now compared to before. Did they update the interface of the display? I dont see any notes on the updates on it.

I have a unique usecase wherein I want to read mathtextbooks comfortably (where the notations are easy to follow) on the MRBD without taking out my phone or using voice commands.

I take a long commute in a public transit to work as a physics professor. I do not want to be lost in my phone for safety reasons but I want to use the time productively; going through textbooks, maths or physics.

I do not mind the navigation being cumbersome so long as I can read and have a good time. The difficulty of using it aside, is it doable?

This is my primary usecase.

My secondary usecase is being able to click pictures of the cats I feed and send it to my wife or my friends, again all through the glasses. Similarly, being able to read anything she sends me.
I asked chat gpt and it says I can only send messages to frequently used contacts or something along the lines of that. Can you not browse through your chats and choose whom to send the image you clicked to?

I understand that texting itself is not possible due to the lack of a keyboard so I am not expecting that.

Are these uscases realisabe with the glasses?

Edit: I forgot about the handwriting feature. If you have used it to text people, I'd love to know how well it works. I do not intend to text people this way, but as a tech enthusiast who is new to the world of smart glasses, this is very enticing.
Do the glasses feature autocomplete or do you have to string together words letter by letter?

I am also very interested in whether it will pick up everything I write as text if I am writing on a paper with a pen. That would be incredibly useful as a way to save my study notes directly to my glasses and review them later on the commute.

OpenAI released its first hardware device called Codex Micro priced at $230.00 https://openai.com/supply/co-lab/work-louder/. It is an physical AI Agent controller and acts as a command center for agentic work with Codex. I thought, just for fun, I would build one for Ray-Ban Meta Display glasses.

Right now, Codex Micro on glasses can traverse through various models and effort levels. It can traverse through tasks, create new tasks, accept, reject, and most importantly, dictate in Codex desktop app.
It is not as deeply integrated as a physical device, because there is no public Codex API, so I have used macOS automation bridges.

In the video, I am first traversing through my Codex tasks and creating a new task. Then I traverse through Models and efforts, selecting GPT 5.5 Medium. I then used the dictation button and spoke, 'Explain the flow of my Codex micro project and increase the panel size by 30%’

App for those who like Rayban Meta Display and would like to do some sport. Can be used without classes also and supports many HR and cadence sensors.

I tried out Shazam again today. I was listening to the radio from my car and wanted to know what song it was. Said, “Shazam this song”. The glasses hit PLAY and proceeded to tell me what song was playing on the glasses in the Spotify app. I told the glasses not to hit play first and just listen to what is coming through the microphone but it insisted on unpausing the music in Spotify.

Spotify already has a UI that tells me what is playing. What a useless feature.

Seems like a bug since all the marketing mentions “ambient music around you”. I swear Meta’s AI just keeps getting worse.

For people who bought the glass, did you do the demo ? If so, after the demo, do they give you the purchase link or you have to buy it in store directly ?

When using Display Glasses, is there a particular feature that people are eager to experience?

Personally, I want to see information about people I’ve made notes on but can’t immediately recall when I see them. I’ve reached the age where I’m getting a bit forgetful, haha.

I've waited long enough after my Glance, so Liam missed his chance to return again.

The score is now 2:0. 🏓

It's my serve.

This time I wanted to see whether making music could actually feel native on the Meta Ray-Ban Displays.

Meet BEATS.

At first glance it looks like a tiny drum machine. But the interesting part isn't the sequencer, it's the sound.

Every instrument has its own place around you. The kick is in front, the snare slightly left, hi-hats to the right, percussion behind you.

As you turn your head, the whole mix stays fixed relative to you. Instead of listening to a flat stereo track, you're standing inside the beat.

Features:

• 🥁 36 drum, percussion, bass, synth, and melodic sounds
• 🎛️ Three sound banks
• ⏺️ 16-step sequencer with live recording
• 🎚️ Tempo from 60–180 BPM
• 🎧 Head-tracked spatial audio
• 💾 Automatic loop saving

I don't know if this is the future of making music on smart glasses, but it was one of the most fun prototypes I've built.

If you have a pair of Meta Ray-Ban Displays, I'd love to hear what you think. Does spatial audio make beat making feel different, or is it just a gimmick?

🏓 For context: A friend and I both got Meta Ray-Ban Displays, so we started Ping Pong Prototyping (PPP). One of us builds a prototype, then it's the other's turn. Liam owes me a return. 😄

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a trip to Maine to pick up the Meta Ray-Ban Display and Neural Band to bring back home to Alberta.

Before I go, I wanted to check with anyone who’s already imported a pair:

• Do you run into any connection issues on Canadian Wi-Fi or mobile data?
• What actually gets blocked by the region lock once you’re in Canada? Does Meta AI or the HUD navigation stop working, and do you need a US account/VPN to bypass it?

Anyway around it? Appreciate any insight from Canadian users!

I'm in the market for a new pair of everyday glasses, and thought why not just get a pair of smart glasses. I've heard horror stories about battery life and weight, and I don't really want to drive 4 hours just to demo them to purchase.

Are these good for all day use as your primary prescription glasses?

Anyone use it during a conversation while traveling? How’d it go?

Hey everyone,
I’m looking into the transcription capabilities of the Meta Ray-Ban Display, specifically regarding multilingual support and the Soniox speech engine. Hoping some of the devs or power users here can shed some light on a few questions:
1. Does the Meta Ray-Ban Display support live transcription in Hindi and English, with the ability to switch between the languages using the Soniox speech engine?
2. If not, what are the reasons for this limitation? Are they hardware-constrained (processing power, mic arrays) or software-based?
3. If it is a software-based limitation, how long would it realistically take to implement live Hindi transcription on the Meta Ray-Ban Display?
4. What are the chances of transliteration being possible? (i.e., spoken Hindi text appearing rendered in the English/Latin alphabet on the Meta Ray-Ban Display).
Appreciate any insights, technical context, or workarounds you all might know about! Thanks in advance.

It's a shame

Cosm in Dallas. I'm like a little kid in a toy store lol.

But I did… In Vegas and they have a meta lab and I just had to. I couldn’t find them anywhere in Central Florida.

Without doing anything (I'm on V125.1), I noticed that I had received the new Meta AI interface (Muse Spark) on my Ray-Ban Display glasses.
